Celta, Zaragoza and Mallorca book places in last 16 of Copa del Rey

Celta, Zaragoza and Mallorca advanced into the round of 16 in Spain\'s Copa del Rey on Thursday night. Celta Vigo defeated Almeria 3-0 to overcome a 2-0 defeat in the home leg against the second division side who played well in the first half. After the break, however, South Korean striker Park put Celta ahead and Roberto Lago\'s goal in the 92nd minute took the game into extra time, where it was decided by a goal by Quique de Lucas. Celta will play Real Madrid in the next round. Zaragoza sneaked into the last 16 on away goals despite a 2-1 defeat in Granada. Ighalo and Diego Mainz scored for the home side, but Jose Mari\'s 55th minute goal ensured Zaragoza made progress. The day\'s final match saw Mallorca and Deportivo la Coruna draw 0-0 in a tedious match: a result which also saw Mallorca through on away goals after the 1-1 draw in La Coruna in the first leg. Meanwhile all of the favorites such as FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and Atletico Madrid all assured their progress to the last 16 on Tuesday and Wednesday. There is one tie still to be resolved, which is between Athletic Club Bilbao and third tier side Eibar, which was delayed as Athletic had to play a postponed Europa League game in Israel on Wednesday night after the original game had been cancelled due to the conflict in Gaza.
